Moving Pictures are an Australian
rock music band formed in 1978. Their debut album,
Days of Innocence, was issued in October 1981 and eventually peaked at No. 1 on the
Kent Music Report Albums Chart in February the following year. In January 1982 they released their single, "
What About Me", which reached No. 1 on the related Kent Music Report Singles Chart. Late that year
Elektra Records issued
Days of Innocence and "What About Me" in North America. The single reached No. 29 on the
Billboard Hot 100 and appeared on the associated year-end Hot 100 list for 1983. A proposed series of United States performances supporting
REO Speedwagon,
Tom Petty and
Hall & Oates fell through when Elektra was substantially reorganised.
